About B.Tech Aerospace Engineering

Aerospace Engineering is one of the most prominent fields of applied physics and engineering design. This technical specialization involves the study of airborne vehicles including their design, functioning, manufacturing and maintenance. Development and testing are also a major part of this field.

In this branch of engineering, students learn about professionals design, building, testing and maintenance of civil aircraft, missiles, space shuttles, rockets, space stations and other such units. Aerospace is a broad field and also comprises subjects that are taught under the aeronautical engineering, mechanical engineering and other fields of applied physics.

B.Tech Aerospace Engineering Admission Process

  1. Entrance test-based admission process - In this, the candidates have to appear in any entrance exam like JEE Main, JEE Advanced, MHT CET etc after qualifying the minimum eligibility criteria mentioned above. Based on the performance of the candidates in the entrance exam, the institutes will prepare a merit list and conduct counselling rounds before finally allocating the seats. The entrance exam can be national-level, state-level and institute-level exam in which the candidates have to appear to qualify for the next round of the admission process. 

  2. Direct admissions - In this, the candidates can apply for admission into the particular programme directly through the official website of the institute. The candidates have to fulfil the institute eligibility criteria for the programme and pay the admission fee after a verification round to secure a seat. 

B.Tech Aerospace Engineering Cutoff

The admission to B.tech Aerospace Engineering is done on the basis of cutoff as released by the different states/counseling authorities. The cutoff consists of the opening & closing ranks for admission. The closing rank is decided on the basis of rank obtained by the last candidate that has been admitted through the last counseling round. That means the rank of the last admitted student will be the closing rank for the next counselling. The candidate must acquire a rank up to the closing rank to get admission.
